Pixies

In 1990, when the Pixies performed "Debaser" live in Utrecht, they were riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album *Doolittle*, which had been released just a year earlier. This album is often credited with solidifying their place in the alternative rock scene, showcasing their unique blend of punk energy and pop sensibility—a style that would go on to influence countless bands. The Utrecht show was part of the *Doolittle* tour, celebrating the album that featured iconic tracks like "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and, of course, "Debaser." The performance itself is a vivid snapshot of their raw energy and unconventional sound, capturing the spirit of that era in alternative music. Interestingly, this recording also relates to their later compilation *Death to the Pixies*, which served as a tribute and retrospective of their work, further cementing their legacy in rock history. It’s remarkable how this band managed to carve out such a distinct identity and still resonate with new music lovers today!
